Not my area of expertise, so if there’s anyone who is more familiar than me, please chime in.

Having said that, Trump is likely to be right on this one. Would we have wanted FDR’s communications with Churchill before Pearl Harbor to be open to isolationists in Congress? No.

However, the protected nature of such communications is just one more reason why Trump’s mental disintegration (forget about his absolute lack of integrity) makes him unfit for office.

Even if he’s right, demand it and force them to deny it so it makes it look like he’s got something terrible to hide.

Which he does.

Any info they did provide congress would be a pack of lies anyway, and it would be difficult to dispute those lies.

It would be easier getting them from Putin. He’s far more trustworthy than Donnie.

If pressed, he would probably say that he and Putin discussed how Russia helped Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election in exchange for the Uranium One deal. (Maybe not crazy enough.)

“The President must be free to engage in discussions with foreign leaders without fear that those communications will be disclosed and used as fodder for partisan political purposes,”

“And foreign leaders must be assured of this as well,”

Schiff is looking into showing that Trump is a Russian Asset.

Doesn’t matter whether these two clowns fold their arms and frown or not…It’s gonna come out.

And it’s gonna come out before 2020.

So what are you going to do about it Democratic leaders? More sternly worded letters would be my guess.

I suggest using the power We The People bestowed upon them. I suggest that leadership get up on their high horse and scream every single chance they get. I suggest they do their job or get out of the way and let someone who will do it.

And here we are at the intersection of “discussions with foreign leaders,” self-dealing, and treason.

The difference is there was a record of such meetings.
